For those of you not familiar, ICA is a cooking competition show. It usually takes place on the custom built Kitchen Stadium set. For an hour, you watch a challenger and a Iron Chef cavort around the kitchen preparing multi-course meals. Each episode, the chefs are given a secret ingredient, which serves as the theme for the evening. All the while, Alton Brown and his A-Team of reporters run around the kitchen keeping you abreast of the latest. It’s a little campy, and a lot of fun … so if you haven’t watched the show before, tonight is your night.

It premiers at 8pm EST (January 3rd) on the aforementioned Food Network. Tonight’s special episode is two-hours long, so make sure your DVR has enough free space. Check your local listings for specifics and just type in your zip code. I’ve already filtered it by ICA.
